How to Make Chipotle Marinated Chicken

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients (except chicken) in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
